Instructions for adding or dropping classes
If students have no holds that block registration, they may add or drop classes continually through myZou before the posted deadlines. (Note: The deadlines apply only to classes that meet the full semester or term. Classes that are "irregular" follow appropriately adjusted dates. Check the dates on the class section within myZou.) If classes are full or require consent, students will need to get permission numbers from the departments to add the class.
A student who wants to add or drop a class after the deadline must complete a late registration change form (PDF) and submit it before the last day to late register. (Note: The last day to late register deadline applies only to classes that meet the entire semester or term. Classes that are "irregular" follow appropriately adjusted last days to register. Check the dates on the class section within myZou.) After obtaining the proper signatures on the Late Registration Change form, students will need to take it to 125 Jesse Hall for processing.
No class, other than problems, special readings, internships or research, may be added after the expiration of one week following the first day of classes in a fall or spring semester, or an equivalent period of time thereof in a shorter session.
Please note: Dropping all classes is considered a withdrawal from the University and must be initiated in the academic advising units and completed before the last day the class meets or the last day of the term for regularly scheduled classes. Finals are not included as part of the term for this purpose. See grades for withdrawn students.
